Opposing effects of cationic antimicrobial peptides and divalent cations on bacterial lipopolysaccharides
(American Physical Society, 2017-10-09)The permeability of the bacterial outer membrane, enclosing Gram-negative bacteria, depends on the interactions of the outer, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) layer, with surrounding ions and molecules. We present a coarse-grained ... -
Theory and simulation of interactive membrane-macromolecule structures in biological systems
(University of Waterloo, 2014-08-11)This thesis focuses on one of the branches of soft matter: biological systems. More specifically, we study the morphological transformation of lipid bilayer membranes induced by interacting with macromolecules. Recent ...
